Overstone Kondowe appointed leader for Persons with Albinism in Africa

March 12, 2019 Elijah Phimbi - Nyasa Times 29 Comments

Malawi’s Association of Persons with Albinism leader Overstone Kondowe has been appointed as Chairperson for the African Union for Persons With Albinism (PWA).

Kondowe; Gets continental post

Kondowe, who left the country on Monday,  was elected in Pretoria, South Africa at a congress represented by leaders of various PWA groups across Africa.

“I am greatly humbled by the confidence and trust persons with Albinism in Africa have in me” announced Kondowe through his Facebook page on Tuesday.

He said his appointment is as a result of God’s favour.

“It’s not about merit but God’s favour to lead the first ever African Union for Persons with albinism,” wrote Kondowe.

He therefore gave credit to African Disabiliy Alliance (ADA) and European Union (EU) for technical and financial support towards the establishment of the PWA AU association.

Kondowe left the country leaving behind a debate on whether he will return on the country or not following the escallating killings and abduction of people with albinism.

This has prompted PWAs to ask the government to allow them to flee the country and seek asylum in other countries.

“When your country refuse to be a home” briefly wrote Kondowe prior to his departure.

Over 20 PWA have been killed in Malawi while several others have been abducted since 2014.

  1. Dzanja lalembatu apa…………”Glory be to God!”!

    Overstone, with this position you can now ably influence global organizations/leaders that matter to assist you [albinos] in Malawi. Always remember nickie D. gave you the “strongest” message from government……. and the message was that the death of over 20 albinos in Malawi is not a serious matter to them [government] and the matter deserves no immediate attention!! I am certain you also noted that the president cemented the same message by choosing to sideline your group by chosing to visit flood victims only!

    Once again “Glory be to God” for all this!

  3. God has elevated his son.
    Shame to Dpp. Your divide and rule has failed.
    God will rescue Malawians on 21 may.

  5. Bwana Kondowe, phokoso lomwe mumapanga likusonyeza your tribe. I hope you wont be selling your friends now poti anthu omwe akugulitsana akuziwana.

  6. Now the song “munthu sungamumvetse munthu” anakhala bwanji munthu done by Atoti Manje makes more sense. Just yesterday when it was announced that Kondowe has left for South Africa, we called Kondowe all sorts of names. A good for nothing idiot from the north who uses other albinos to fight his own battles as one of the comentators said. Just 24 hours later, we are all joined to fly messages of congraturations. Munthu sungamumvetse, aaah anakhala bwanji munthu. Congraturations Overstone Kondowe. Keep fighting and never mind anyone. Trust your insticts and move. Munthu sazatheka.

  7. Congrats Overstone you are a very strong man, standing for people not for yourself no wonder God has rewarded you. They tried to silence you but you stood for the truth

  14. Wow! This is the finger of God. Wishing you success in that capacity brother. Proud of you.

  16. When one door closes,God opens another one for your escape.Bravo Everstone,,,don’t you forget that God has allowed you to get that position only to represent all people with albinism in Africa,let alone Malawi where the authorities are so harsh on them.Amen

    1. Congratulations, Overstone, congrats! You are fighting a noble cause for all the others and your efforts have been recognised. May God bless you and all the people living with albinism.

  18. Wamuchititsa manyazi Petulo. While Petulo plies his failed leadership over small Malawi, Overstone is in charge of the whole of Africa!!!!!!!!

  19. Guys, when the state invited apam to state house, it was just a political show,and we all know it, to curb the vigils. OK now what is the southern region splinter group benefitted? Apam by any means needed political support to advance their wish. Let’s not be hypocrites. The southern region group that met mutharika was also greatly meddled in politics. Let’s face it

    1. Lobodo ndiwe opusa kwambiri. Kuteroku what you see in the Kondowe is his uTumbuka and not fate of people with albinism.
      Nkhani ya ma albino
      Wayav kae juloaetsapo zigawo. Kupanda nzeru tu kumeneko

  20. So, immediately you have automatically become the leader over that political southern region splinter group of albinos by default. Thats how things work, um sure they will form another splinter group from this African association. Congrats overston

    1. Palibe za u boss apa. Al, this has been staged. He wants to remain relevant. he is a stupid sellout to fellow albinos. He thinks he is a special kind of them and akhala mzungu. Stupid tubuka fooled by fellow myopic and foolish mtumbuka Mtambo.

      1. Anakulakwira chani atumbuka iweyo? Udzafa ndi Bp my friend. Such hatred is not good for ur health

    2. much appreciate Mr. Kondowe , plans God is not Plans for peter however thanks to work hard to protect all PWA in our national as well as in All Africa
